How is calculating velocity different from calculating speed?

The short answer is that velocity is the speed with a direction, while speed does not have a direction. Speed is a scalar quantity—it is the magnitude of the velocity. Speed is measured in units of distance divided by time (e.g., miles per hour, feet per second, meters per second, etc.).

explanation:

mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. the cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
